Tech Talk
Judy Quinn -- 4/6/98
Time Warner CEO Larry Kirshbaum told PW that he d sn't expect to publish that next, business-reader-oriented book by Bill Gates until sometime next year, but in the meantime, the Microsoft chief will have to contend with Barbarians Led by Bill Gates, a critical look at the company written by Marlin Eller, a 13-year Microsoft veteran and software developer, and Jennifer Edstrom, the estranged daughter of Gates's public relations honcho, Pam Edstrom. Holt has moved publication of the book from fall to June, in part because of the current interest in Gates's ongoing antitrust hearings. And in addition to Gates's own book, Warner will publish another book with a Gates connection: Confessions of a Venture Capitalist by Ruthann Quindlen, the former software analyst-turned-venture capitalist who took Microsoft and other significant tech companies public in the 1980s. Warner senior v-p Mel Parker made the six-figure, world rights preemptive offer to Lisa DiMona, working with packager Seth Godin, to take this project off the table.
